Geometric Robots

After discussing geometric shapes and practicing how to draw geometric shapes students were asked to draw a robot only using geometric shapes. I made a short presentation on robots that they may recognize from TV and movies. While looking at the robots they were asked what shapes made up each robot. This was a great way to transition into them making their own. First they had to think of a plan and draw it on practice paper. After they were asked to assemble the robot using cut paper. This meant thinking about arrangement and what objects should go underneath and which should go on top. Some finished early and were asked to create a pet for their robot. 

These turned out great and each student had a story about their robot and a name!
